The owner of Estiatorio Plaka is a seasoned restaurateur with a distinguished legacy, combining deep-rooted family tradition with a passion for elevating both cuisine and community.
He is the son of the original founder of Tom’s Restaurant in New York City — the iconic diner whose exterior was made world-famous as the setting of the Seinfeld television series. But long before it became a cultural landmark, Tom’s was known for its welcoming atmosphere and dependable charm — values that continue to guide his approach at Estiatorio Plaka.
He also co-founded GM Restaurant in Maryland, a popular and enduring concept celebrated for its American Continental and Mediterranean cuisine, and especially renowned for its signature crab cakes. The restaurant has become a staple in the region, admired for its culinary quality and loyal following.
Beyond his work in individual restaurants, the owner has played an active role in the revitalization of Greek Town, contributing over the years to its cultural renewal and neighborhood pride. Estiatorio Plaka stands as a proud example of that ongoing mission — a testament to his belief that food, heritage, and community are deeply intertwined. Through this restaurant, he continues to invest in preserving and sharing the richness of Greek culture, while offering guests a warm and sophisticated dining experience.
